This is how the vehicle was manufactured. The door is NOT missing. See below: The 1956 Austin FX3 taxi, a classic London black cab, features a design optimized for city transport, typically utilizing the space beside the driver for luggage rather than a specialized left-side door for this purpose. Luggage was often stored on a small, external passenger-side platform next to the bonnet. Luggage Storage: The area to the left of the driver, often featuring a small exterior platform, was designed for luggage, allowing for better visibility and access. Design Characteristics: As a 1950s taxi, the FX3 was built with a separated driver cabin and passenger compartment, with the front passenger seat often dedicated to luggage or a spare tire, according to www.ablackcab.co.uk and The Electric Taxi. Capacity: Similar to modern black cabs, the 1956 models were designed to carry passengers and their luggage, with the aforementioned front area providing extra space. 01/26/2026 12:17:41 PM
